SSL support for Busybox docker containers

I am running my official website and this blog on busybox
docker containers. I noticed today that this image does not support
certificate trust stores and therefore cannot request an SSL-enabled web services.

My website is using Google recaptcha
to handle spam requests on its contact form. However, the website throws the following
exception when recaptch API is requested:

x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided

First approach would be to use COPY
command to load the certificate store bundle in to the image.

I do not want to keep the certificates on docker image, so I fixed the issue
by mounting the host’s certificate store in to the container file system.
